"interpolate"

[victor steinbok]

I found a couple of what may be intermediate items--using "interpollate"
(not all hits in GB are useful).

But not all "interpollate" arise from "interpellate"--some are just typos
for "interpolate".

[These are not exhaustive on either count.]

A simple misreading of "interpellates" as "interpollates" by a typesetter
(or editor--in a more contemporary version of publishing) can lead to an
editorial correction to "interpolate". "Interpollate" specifically shows up
in Words You Should Know How to Spell: An A to Z Guide to Perfect Spelling.
The "correction" is to "interpolate"--no explanation and no other options.
